    Abstract: A printer comprising a plurality of print heads wherein at least one of them is configured to eject only one colour of ink and wherein each of them has a heater which can be individually activated in response to the receipt of a print job. There may be a first print head for ejecting black ink and a second one for ejecting cyan, magenta and yellow ink. There may be reservoirs of ink associated with each of the print heads which are heated after a predetermined time has elapsed following heating of the print head. The device is designed to save energy by only heating print heads which are in use.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce energy consumption by activating a heater that is operatively connected to a printhead that ejects ink having a single color in response to receipt of a print job of a printer having multiple printheads compatible with solid phase change inks with different colors.SOLUTION: The printer detects the presence of colors other than the single color in image data received in the print job, and activates heaters operatively coupled to printheads that eject ink drops that correspond to the detected colors.

    Abstract translation: 要解决的问题:通过激活可操作地连接到打印头的加热器来降低能量消耗,该打印机响应于接收到具有与固相变油墨相容的多个打印头的打印机的打印作业而响应于具有单一颜色的墨水 具有不同的颜色。

    解决方案:打印机检测在打印作业中接收到的图像数据中存在不同于单色的颜色,并且启动可操作地耦合到打印头的加热器,其喷射与检测到的颜色相对应的墨滴。 版权所有(C)2012,JPO&INPIT
